Talk:Federalist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is also a Federalist period in American Architecture. I do not have time to research this, so perhaps we could just mention it?

[edit] Not clear
The following isn't very clear:
This ideology is opposed to Quebec sovereigntism, proponent of Quebec independence, most often (but not for all followers) along with an economic union with Canada similar to the European Union.
Is the ideology opposed to a series of things, the second of which is "proponent of Quebec independence"? Or is an -ism now to be considered an anthropomorphic proponent of Quebec independence? The rest of the sentence is similarly confusing. I would fix it as a simple run-on sentence (or a series of run-on sentences) if I knew what its intent was.
Please clarify.

[edit] ist/ism
Why isn't this article at Federalism? On almost all parallel articles (Conservatism, for example) that is where we put them. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:16, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
- The reason Federalism is currently a disambiguation page is that there seem to be two separate meanings of the term:
-
- Federalism as an institution or system (covered by the Federation article)
- Federalism as a philosophy (covered by Federalist).
- Until a few months ago the federalism article covered only the first meaning and more or less duplicated the information found at Federation. So the first meaning seems to be the one assumed by many Wikipedians. Using the title Federalist seemed to me to be a natural way of disambiguating the term. The alternative might be an ugly title like Federalism (philosophy).

[edit] Incomprehensible phrase cut
I cut the parenthetical phrase out of the following because it was incomprehensible. If someone understands what was intended, feel free to fix and restore. "Usually federalism (read practicle confederacy) is proposed as a solution to issues that may have strong support in some parts of the country and strong opposition in other parts… - Jmabel | Talk 20:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Odd interwiki link
fi:Yhdysvaltojen Federalistinen puolue, currently linked, looks wrong to me, but I don't read Finnish. It looks like it is on a specific federal republic, or some such, not on federalism generally. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry I don't know how to open my own discussion, but someone has vandalized this article.
[edit] Unqualified US-centric sentence
The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists switched sides over the past years because the Anti-Federalists then realized that the government was too hard and the were willing to connect with the constitution.
I assume that this refers to federalism in the United States. In any case it's a bit incongruous in this article. Should it be moved?--Ejrh 05:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
